Polish-born pianist Dominika Maszczynska is joined by her trio, Liturina. Performing on historical instruments, they present a programme that celebrates three close musical friends.
Born in Sheffield in 1816, William Sterndale Bennett’s music was greatly admired by both Mendelssohn – who encouraged him to spend time in Leipzig ‘not as my pupil but as my friend’ – and Schumann, with whom he enjoyed an even closer friendship. Bennett also earned a reputation as one of the finest pianists in Europe but on one visit to Leipzig (1836-7) he left a historic sporting legacy, arranging the first cricket match ever played in Germany. Bennett’s Chamber Trio demonstrates Bennett’s skill in combining the German romantic and British pastoral traditions. The first rehearsal Schumann’s Piano Trio No 3 made a deep impression on his wife and fellow composer, Clara. ‘It is original’, she wrote in her diary, ‘and increasingly passionate, especially the scherzo, which carries one along with it into the wildest depths’. Completed in 1845, two years before his death at the age of 38, Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No 2 was the last chamber work the composer lived to see published. He dedicated the score to the violinist and composer, Louis Spohr, and presented it to his sister, Fanny, as a birthday gift.
